Science, history, and observation reveal our interdependence. Barring distorting ideologies or mental illness, our deeply social natures endow healthy adults with more empathy than malevolence. Traditional doctrines claiming humans are inherently evil are both wrong and harmful.

Everyone’s well-being is supported and protected by secular societies in which most members have a voice and actively participate. Personal fulfillment and social strength both increase when honest, principled people work hard, take risks, and share friendly laughter together.
